![[NEW] Jay-Z: 'History'](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1344618_lg.jpg)
Success is like lust, which is good for the touch. So I guess Jay-Z isn't planning on retiring any time soon after all. Lucky for us we have at least one more album to enjoy before he disappears off to the south coast of France to enjoy life with Beyonce and the kids. And no, I'm not actually being sarcastic for once: Jay-Z is by far one of the top rappers out there in my humblest of humble opinions. Here's [...]
![[NEW] Chromeo: '100 Percent'](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1343370_lg.jpg)
I won't let you go until you say please. As it turns out Chromeo 's '100 Percent' isn't as new a track as I thought (it was on their July-released album) but by web standards remains one that hasn't been talked about in great detail. To be blunt, it's pretty easy to see why: it sounds like a hybrid between a really bad 70's porn movie (not that I watch them or anything... ahem) and GTA Vice City radio. Don't get me wrong, [...]
Old school bringing it back! I'm sure I could have chosen a more flattering and/or photogenic picture to use of Moby but I like to keep things simple here on the DILT and that's exactly what that photo is: simple and clean. Before we continue, I have a pretty shocking secret I'd like to own up to: the first time I heard his stellar track 'Ooh Yeah' was in an episode of - gasp - Gossip Girl . I can't remember what exactly the [...]
Just because I'm losing, doesn't mean I'm lost. Okay, I was lying in the title of this post when I said that 'Lost' is a new track by the Coldplay boys. In case you weren't sure, the track was actually taken from their hit summer album 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends' . What's new about it is that it's been reworked to include a SWEET cameo by one of my favourite rappers Jay-Z . Watch as this one explodes! [...]
American pie, can I get a slice? It's been a while since I've posted anything about M.I.A. - whom, incidentally, HAS been M.I.A. According to Rap-Up.com , though, she'll be back in November with a re-release of 2007's critically-acclaimed 'Kala' . Hopefully there'll be a few new tracks on it for us to get our grubby hands (and ears) into! Here's a hawt new remix featuring none other than Jay-Z . It's 4 [...]
I'ma touch the sky! Meh, I'm not feeling this one at all. Someone has done a mash-up of the Justice remix of MGMT 's absolutely superb 'Electric Feel' and Kanye West 's 'Touch the Sky' and to be blatantly honest it's one of the worst I've heard in a while. Don't get me wrong: I give it an A+ for effort simply because the two tunes are insanely heard to [...]
Watch me lean then watch me rock. In case you've been living under a rock for the past two weeks, you'll probably know that Travis Barker (amongst others including DJ AM ) was involved in a horrific plane crash on September 20. Luckily, he survived the crash but is said to be in "critical condition". To show support for everyone's favourite former Blink 182 drummer (and the only one, for that matter), [...]
Plug it in and change the world, 'cos you are my electric girl. Everyone knows I love me some MGMT - and in the same way to say I love 'Electric Feel' is probably the understatement of the century. But when it comes to Katy "I kissed a girl just for attention" Perry the jury is still out. Sure, bitch is talented and hawt in that awkward kind of way - but can she really pull [...]
even if you're not, we love you all! well well well, what have we here? i was lucky enough to somehow stumble upon some fantastic new Morningwood material and i've got to confess the result is shaping up to be quite a mixed bag. i absolutely loved last month's surprise release of 'Sugarbaby' and so far i'm rather enjoying 'Killer Life' , 'Best of Me' and 'That's How You Know It's Love' - all [...]
her hair is Harlow gold, her lips sweet surprise. could it be that Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester might just be THE best thing to hit the planet since... well... the proverbial sliced bread? to begin with, she's insanely hawt. i mean, Serena VanDerWouldn't doesn't have anything on her. secondly, she's a pretty darn good actress. thirdly, she was born in prison and that's gotta count for something, right? only the coolest of cool kids get to born in the state pen. now, courtesy of Crishie [...]
you're left by yourself. Jai-zus Christ - someone needs to take some more pics of MGMT , stat! i had to go five pages deep into Google Images just to get a piccie of the boys that i haven't used yet and well... this one rather sucks. but back to the point: The Culture of Me has reported some pretty interesting news that will no doubt simultaneously excite and disappoint fellow avid fans. according to Andrew VanWyngarden, the follow-up [...]
our hair is perfect, while we're all getting shit-wrecked. 'Beautiful Dirty Rich' is the second single from 'The Fame' : the pop world's next phenomenon Lady Gaga 's debut album. GaGa describes the track as summing up her time of "self-discovery, living in the Lower East Side of New York City and dabbling in drugs and the party scene". sounds a bit like a Gossip Girl plot line to me... i have to say i'm not particularly feeling it [...]
just spin that record baby. i have a confession to make: i've finally bought into the hype surrounding New Yoik songstress Lady GaGa and yep, that name is indeed a reference to Queen 's 'Radio Ga-Ga' . when i first heard 'Just Dance' at the beginning of the summer, i thought it was an okay-ish pop song but i couldn't even begin to fathom why everyone was creaming themselves over it. yesterday i heard it again in some lame fan-made [...]
i've been as busy as a mofo the last few wee ks so i'm a bit behind - my apologies to those bands/artists who've sent me their work that i haven't yet had the chance to reply to. i've received so much sex in my inbox (aka freaky good muzak) this week it's hard to keep up. here's some of the hottest and best indie music out there right now. e-mail damienlistensto [at] gmaill [dot] com to be featured in this most coveted of segments.

your voice was(n't) too loud. this is fan-fucking-tastic! The Kooks have done a cover of MGMT 's ' Kids' and the result is absolutely incredible. dare i say i prefer this acoustic sound to the real deal? well maybe not quite, but it does make a nice change from the original. i wasn't so fond of their cover of Ace of Base 's 'All That She Wants' [...]
you pick the insects of plants, no time to think of consequences. yay! i've been searching absolutely everywhere for this fan-fucking-tastic Soulwax remix of MGMT 's 'Kids' and now, courtesy of Winnie Cooper , i finally have my grubby hands on it. disclaimer: my hands aren't actually grubby at the moment - they're oddly clean. just in case you wanted to know. TMI? neverrr... MGMT - 'Kids (Soulwax Remix)' mp3 [...]
i found you. the piccie above is indeed the cover for TV On The Radio's highly anticipated upcoming album 'Dear Science'. the album, which is set for release on September 22, is the follow-up to 2006's critically-acclaimed 'Return to Cookie Mountain'. both SPIN and Pitchfork named the latter one of their top albums of the year. pretty impressive, eh? Drowned in Sound has an excellent feature discussing their first impressions of the new album, which you can read HERE . absolutely can't wait! for now, hear these if you haven't already: [...]
the season of the trust fund. Chantal Claret (Morningwood's hawt lead singer) gives me morning wood. i'm sorry, it had to be done/said. anyway, now that i've got that out of the way, i must confess that this band is actually fucking amazing. who doesn't love 'Jetsetter' or 'New York Girls'?! and now they've dropped some new material which, frankly, sounds a bit like Ashlee Simpson but in a good way. it might just find itself the new Gossip Girl theme song... [...]
it's like a joke that's told without it's final line. i realize this isn't the popular way to go about things but i really can't decide how i feel about New York-based band The Walkmen. it really depends what mood i'm in i suppose - sometimes i love them but at others i just can't listen to them. don't hate me! anyway, the guys best known for their unique vintage sound have a brand new album 'You And Me' coming out on August 19 and i know many people are [...]
i've never been so close, i've never felt so unafraid. New Yoiker Young Love is by far one of my preferred artistes in the jungle of MySpace bands out there . i've been following him from his humble beginnings and watching closely as his fame and popularity grows. right now he's big enough to be well-known but not too big as to lose his "street cred" - and that's is how i like it. he has just added two outstandingly good tracks to his MySpace [...]
